I picked up a cheap $5 tv the other day, hoping to find a usable donor tube inside.
It's a hitachi CT1981. When I opened it up, the neckboad connector looks different from the tubes I've seen so far. It has 11 pins, and a key pin. Anyone know if this might be usable at all? It doesn't look compatible with any of the monitors I have, but I figured I should check before I send it off to the recycling heap!
